Responding to a question during a speech May 23, 2006 at the National Press Club in Washington DC, Senator Hillary Clinton said: "The 55-mile speed limit really does lower gas usage. And wherever it can be required, and the people will accept it, we ought to do it..."
Recognizing there would be opposition, Clinton continued "Well, there are just some parts of the country where that's just not going to happen," she said. "You know, where you've got miles of open, flat road."
"I mean, there are things that can be done. So maybe the trade off is, you know, most of the country where 55 miles an hour doesn't seem like a burden, we have that. In the rest of the country, inflate your tires before you head off into the sunset," Clinton concluded.
